PAPERBACK:

The paperback edition of Queen Unseen was published on October 1st 2015 by Music Press - an imprint of John Blake Publishing. I spent several months revising the book, though the structure and chapters remains the same. Four years on from the original hardback edition, Iíve had chance to reflect, and include new stories, observations and memories, while editing what I felt didnít work; tightening the writing to make the book flow better.

Overall itís the much the same - but improved! I hope. The editor says it is ÖÖ

The photo sections are as in the original hardback and a forward section of pages with quotes and reviews on the original book is included.

Queen Unseen is a unique account of the many exciting years as a young man I spent on tour, in the recording studio, on video shoots and day to day life at home with one of the world's biggest and best ever rock bands. It is an insightful, enlightening and mostly humorous account for anybody who has ever wondered what working for Queen, or indeed most rock bands of that era really entailed..... the highs and the lows. It is not a chronological history or definitive biography of the band, but a personal story of what it was like to spend your youth travelling the world and living the rock and roll lifestyle - to the full!

There are NO lurid details of the band's private lives. There is plenty of sex and drugs and rock and roll - and of course everybody knows it happened.... I make observations and comments about all the fantastic places we visited and played, and what it was like living, at times, a crazy and surreal existence.
The book covers all the areas that were relevant in Queen's working life, during my time as Queen's longest serving roadie and head of their crew. There is lots of new material and surprises for Queen fans and it is a book to interest anybody who likes stories of rock and roll life in the 1970s & 1980s.
There are photo sections in the book that contain colour and black & white images from my successful Queen The Unseen Archive show that was exhibited internationally. There are also additional rare and unseen photos and other images of memorabilia.
